Message from the Directors

23rd September 2020

As of Thursday 24th September, the new government guidelines and rules are coming into effect, which affect all pubs and restaurants in England. These directly affect The Swan, so we are changing our operating practices and hours to reflect.

We do want you to really enjoy yourselves when at The Swan, but in a safe way for one and all and through adherence to the new rules and regulations. For you directly, that means when visiting us at The Swan the following apply:

You MUST wear a face mask:

  1. Upon entering The Swan.
  2. Whenever not seated at a table.
  3. If collecting a takeaway and not drinking.

You MUST:

  1. Provide track & trace details before being served; info is on your table.
  2. Use table service at all times.
  3. Maintain at least 1m social distancing; 2m is better.
  4. Vacate the premises 15 minutes after the last orders are called.
  5. Wash your hands regularly for at least 20 seconds.

You MUST NOT:

  1. Come to The Swan if you have any symptoms.
  2. Have more than six people at a table.
  3. Move furniture or participate in table swapping.

There are also other measures being taken by The Swan such as:

  1. All of our staff will be wearing masks at all times.
  2. Ensure that everyone has left by the legal closing time, no exceptions.
  3. The NHS Track & Trace QR code is available for you on entry too.

To be frank – we can be fined, shut down or even lose our license if these rules are flaunted. Your help and patience with this is really appreciated by all involved. Together we can get through it and still enjoy ourselves in a safe way.
